“Or else how can one enter into a strong man’s house, and spoil his goods, except he first bind the strong man? and then he will spoil his house.” – Matthew 12:29

A Testimony That Will Shake Your Faith

Dr. Margaret was born into a family where no woman had ever succeeded beyond a certain level for over 200 years. Her great-great-grandmother had been a successful trader until she mysteriously lost everything at age 35. Her great-grandmother started a thriving business that collapsed when she turned 35. Her grandmother became a teacher but was inexplicably fired at age 35. Her mother was a promising nurse who suffered a career-ending accident at you guessed it—age 35.

As Dr. Margaret approached her 35th birthday, she was the head of paediatrics at a major hospital, respected and successful. But strange things began happening. Her hands would shake during critical surgeries. Hospital administrators who had praised her work suddenly became hostile. Medical licenses and certifications she had earned began facing mysterious “reviews” and challenges.

The breaking point came when a child died during a routine surgery, the first patient she had ever lost. As she sat in her office, devastated and facing a potential lawsuit, she cried out to God: “Why is this happening? I’ve served You faithfully, I’ve helped save hundreds of children, and now everything is crashing down just like it did for every woman in my family.”

That night, God gave her a dream that changed everything. She saw an ancient, towering figure sitting on a throne made of bones. Around the throne were the names of every woman in her family bloodline. The figure spoke: “I am the strongman of your father’s house. For 200 years, I have fed on the success of the women in this bloodline. At age 35, I harvest their achievements and transfer their glory to strengthen my kingdom. You cannot escape what your ancestors agreed to.”

But then Dr. Margaret heard another voice, the voice of Jesus: “My child, he is a liar. I came to destroy the works of the devil. Take authority over this strongman and break his hold over your bloodline.”

When she woke up, Dr. Margaret knew this was a divine revelation. She began seven days of intense fasting and prayer, specifically targeting the family strongman that had been terrorizing the women in her lineage for generations.

On the seventh night, as she prayed with holy anger, she felt something break in the spirit realm. She commanded: “You ancient strongman of my father’s house, your 200-year reign over the women in my bloodline is over! I bind you with chains of darkness and command you to release everything you have stolen from my family. Every woman you have destroyed, their achievements are now restored to me and my daughters!”

The next morning, the hospital called with shocking news. The family of the child who had died wanted to meet with her – not to sue, but to thank her. They said their son had been suffering from a rare condition, and her surgery had actually extended his life by precious months they never would have had. They were establishing a foundation in her honor.

Within six months, Dr. Margaret received three major awards, was promoted to chief of surgery, and was invited to speak at international medical conferences. But more importantly, the curse was broken. Her daughter, who had always struggled academically, suddenly began excelling. Her nieces and cousins started experiencing breakthrough in their careers.

Today, at age 45, Dr. Margaret is one of the most celebrated paediatric surgeons in the world, and every woman in her family is thriving. The 200-year strongman that had terrorized their bloodline was not only defeated but completely destroyed.

Understanding Evil Household Strongmen

A Household Strongman is a high-ranking demon assigned to control, manipulate, and destroy specific families or bloodlines. These are not ordinary demons, they are territorial spirits with legal authority passed down through generations of sin, covenants, and spiritual agreements.

Have you ever noticed patterns of delay, failure, or near-success syndrome in your life or family? Do you feel something keeps pushing you back just when you are about to rise? You might be facing the oppression of an evil strongman. An evil strongman is the invisible force behind stubborn problems

In spiritual warfare, the strongman is a demonic force assigned to guard the gates of families, cities, businesses, or individuals to enforce bondage. The Bible reveals in Luke 11:21–22 that no breakthrough can happen until the strongman is bound.

Who Is A Household Strongman?

The Family Tyrant: He is the spiritual dictator ruling over your bloodline, making decisions about who succeeds and who fails, who lives and who dies, who marries and who remains single.

The Generational Oppressor: Like Pharaoh who enslaved Israel for 400 years, he keeps entire families in cycles of poverty, sickness, and failure for generations.

The Covenant Enforcer: He ensures that evil agreements made by your ancestors are fulfilled in your generation, even if you know nothing about them.

The Destiny Hijacker: His primary mission is to abort, delay, exchange, or completely destroy the divine purposes God has planned for your family.

The Glory Thief: He steals the achievements, anointing, and blessings meant for your bloodline and redirects them to his kingdom or to other families.

Characteristics Of Household Strongmen:

Ancient and Established: They have been operating in your family for decades or centuries
Legally Positioned: They have spiritual documents (covenants, curses, dedications) giving them right to operate
Highly Intelligent: They study your family patterns and know exactly how to attack each generation
Extremely Persistent: Unlike ordinary demons, they don’t flee easily—they fight to maintain their territory
Generationally Focused: They specialize in ensuring problems pass from parents to children to grandchildren

Until the strongman is overthrown, spiritual resistance continues, even when we fast, pray, or give.

The Way Of Victory: 7 Steps To Defeating Household Strongmen

Step 1: Surrender To Jesus Christ, The Stronger Man

“When a strong man armed keepeth his palace, his goods are in peace: But when a stronger than he shall come upon him, and overcome him, he taketh from him all his armour wherein he trusted, and divideth his spoils.” – Luke 11:21-22

The strongman may be powerful, but Jesus is the Stronger Man who has already defeated every principality and power. Your victory begins with complete surrender to His lordship.

Step 2: Repent And Close Legal Doors

“Neither give place to the devil.” – Ephesians 4:27

Confess and repent of:

Unforgiveness toward family members
Participation in occult practices
Rebellion against spiritual authority
Sexual immorality and soul ties
Anger, bitterness, and hatred

Step 3: Put On The Full Armor Of God

“Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.” – Ephesians 6:11

Daily declare your spiritual covering:

Helmet of Salvation
Breastplate of Righteousness
Belt of Truth
Feet shod with the Gospel of Peace
Shield of Faith
Sword of the Spirit

Step 4: Identify The Specific Strongman

Through prayer and fasting, ask God to reveal:

What ancestral covenants exist in your bloodline
Which generation first opened doors to this strongman
What specific area he controls (finances, marriage, health, career)
What his name and rank are in the kingdom of darkness

Step 5: Bind The Strongman

“Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.” – Matthew 18:18

Using the authority Jesus gave you, bind the strongman’s:

Ability to operate in your family
Access to your finances, relationships, and health
Communication with other demons
Power to reinforce against your prayers

Step 6: Spoil His Goods

“No man can enter into a strong man’s house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strong man; and then he will spoil his house.” – Mark 3:27

Recover everything he has stolen:

Family blessings and inheritance
Blocked opportunities and promotions
Delayed marriages and children
Stolen health and years of life
Diverted success and achievements

Step 7: Establish Spiritual Boundaries

Create protective barriers to prevent his return:

Daily prayer and Word study
Regular fasting and consecration
Spiritual mentorship and accountability
Teaching your children about spiritual warfare
Blessing your home and property
